Hi Everyone,
The sample midterm exam questions are now posted on Vista. You can find them in the folder marked ‘Midterm & Final Exam Resources’. Please read the instructions at the top of the examples carefully. Reminder that you are allowed a 4″x6″ cheat sheet (double-sided) that may be either typed or hand-written. Office hours are on Monday (1:15-2:30) and Tuesday afternoon (1:30-2:30) in HA351. Have a good weekend.
Building on the success of recent Sauder exams run online, your midterm exam on February 8th will be run online. You will write it in the same classroom (HA241) during your regular class time.
Please ensure you attend class with your laptop this Wednesday, Feb 1st for further instructions and testing.
After Wednesday’s class, you may direct any technical questions to Rob Peregoodoff in Sauder’s Learning & Technical Services department.
Hi Everyone,
A quick reminder to bring in your 4″x6″ note cards with photo, preferred name, registered name, student #, option you’re interested in and the city you call home.
Thanks!
Hi Everyone,
For those of you who missed / lost the handout on participating in research studies to earn up to 3% in extra credits, the handout is posted in Vista under the ‘Tools & Resources’ folder. The link to the actual research website is:

Don’t wait until the end of term!
Comments have been posted to everyone’s blog registered to the 202 or 203 blogrolls. Thanks to all of you who posted. So many interesting topics and ideas, a few will be showcased in class over the coming weeks.
Please check that you received a comment on your blog. If you did NOT receive a comment it is because you didn’t link your blog to the 202 or 203 blogroll or didn’t submit a post or didn’t remove your privacy settings. If you posted by the deadline but had a problem linking your blog, please try and get it fixed through Dr. Blog and then shoot me an email at jenny.dickson@sauder.ubc.ca
Reminder to sign-up for a team before class tomorrow morning (Wed, Jan 18th class). Go to the course Vista site and then the Assignments folder to sign-up.
Each group should consist of 6 students (except for group 10 which is a group of 5, if the course registration list remains the same). Make sure you sign-up for a group in your section. You will be in the same group for all 3 assignments. Start thinking about what organization you’d like to work on and sit in your groups in class on Wednesday. See you tomorrow.
If you have an access code for the text book’s online resource ‘My Marketing Lab’, you can register it at this web address to gain admittance to the additional online help: www.pearsoned.ca/mymarketinglab
Hi Everyone,
Your Blog Assignment outline has now been posted on the vista site in the Assignment folder. See below for instructions on setting up your blog and adding it to the blogroll.
Looking forward to seeing some great creativity and insight!
Set up your blog: If you have never set up a UBC blog before, there is a great resource to walk you through it. Go to this link to Dr. Blog and follow the instructions.
Access your blog: Dr. Blog also tells you how to find and access your blog once it’s set up. https://blogs.ubc.ca/drblog/first-steps/finding-your-blog-2/
Register your blog to the Comm 296 blogroll: You must register your blog to the correct section blogroll for 296, or your classmates and I will not be able to find it. Follow these simple steps:
PLEASE NOTE: Only click the “Add Link” button ONCE! It may take some time to load, so please be patient. If you do end up adding your blog to the blogroll more than once, don’t worry – I have access to the links and will delete any duplicates. No need to email me about that.
Customize your blog: Dr. Blog is also a great resource for customizing your blog’s appearance. Have some fun and show your personality and interests! Make sure you adjust your privacy settings so we can access your blog.
Why not get started right away?
We have an exciting, busy term ahead of us, so I encourage you to jump in wholeheartedly.
Regardless of the option you choose, marketing is an important element of your professional and business training. For example, did you know that 3 of every 8 CEOs have a marketing background, and that marketing costs = approx. 50% of product costs? And if nothing else, keep in mind that you will eventually graduate with hundreds of other Sauder BComs and thousands of business students from other schools (and that’s just in your grad year alone!). That’s some stiff competition, and many of you will graduate with the exact same credentials. How are you going to stand out? Through effective marketing, that’s how.
So hang on, because we’re going to move quickly. I look forward to guiding you through Introduction to Marketing!
